Who we are

The Biting Truth is one of Australia’s leading nutrition consultant companies. 

About The Biting Truth

Let’s be honest. There’s a lot of nutrition misinformation out there.

When we found ourselves frustrated about the lack of credible information surrounding nutrition, we wanted to do something about it.

We’re Anna and Alex, Accredited Practicing Dietitian and the founders of The Biting Truth. We started out seeing client after client who was frustrated with their lack of results and confused about the right path for them. We thought, there has to be a better way and so in 2014 we created The Biting Truth.

Since then, we have become one of Australia’s leading nutrition consultancy companies. We have worked with thousands of individual clients and consulted with top companies such as CBA, Clayton Utz, Woolworths and NAB to support individuals achieve their goals and feel confident in their food choices.

Together our team has over 20 years of experience and shares a dream to change the culture of nutrition in Australia.
